HSC - The BIG Question (1 Viewer)

[Survivor39]

What do you think the big question (6/7 marks) is everyone??

I hope we get something like the evidence to support evolution or something. Or the enzyme activity.

But PLEASE don't test me on the collaboration of Wilkins/Crick and Franklin dot point. it's so crap....

 

[JUB JUB]

i reckon

process information from secondary sources to describe and analyse the relative importance of the work of:
James Watson
Francis Crick
Rosalind Franklin
Maurice Wilkins
in determining the structure of DNA and the impact of the quality of collaboration and communication on their scientific research

OR

discuss the potential impact of the use of reproduction technologies on the genetic diversity of species using a named plant and animal example that have been genetically altered

Well something from blueprint because I HATE IT...and that means I will get the 8 marker on it!

 

[Survivor39]

NOOOOOOOOOOO....NOT THIS ONE
James Watson
Francis Crick
Rosalind Franklin
Maurice Wilkins
*snifts*

The blueprint of life is a great topic, except the scientist dot point

 

[*hopeful*]

i reckon it'll b on d stupid impacts of technogy on genetic diversity blah blah blah

What difference does it make??! Big question is big question.

 

[MiSSi]

yep its 8 marks

 

[Survivor39]

What??!! * marks in the HSC 2002 too??

I think it's going to be 7 this year

 

[~TeLEpAtHeTiC~]

it'll be something to do with DNA and seeing aS thought this yr is the 50th anniversary of its discovery
i'd hav to say it'd most likely be the dot point on the contribution if the scientists

 

[P.I.M.P.]

i think it might have something to do with GM foods cos it has been in the paper a fair bit in the last year??

 

[asl2]

u do realize that its 50th anerversy of watson/crik tihs year!! so i think there should be a 8 marker on their contrubutins... well thats what our teacher reckons...

 

[unoriginal]

i think it will be something about the role of female scientists eg. Franklin, but i hope i'm wrong

 

[Cape]

I hope that it is something on the disease topic, as that was really easy.

In our trial we had evaluate the effectiveness of vaccination programs in preventing the spread and occurrence of common childhood diseases.

That was an easy 8 mark question.

Another good one would be to assess the effectiveness of quarantine methods.
Only because I do earth and environmental science as well, and we have to know that for that subject as well!!

 

[honky tonk]

I hope they don't ask us about the scientists, that's the most boring dot point in the entire syllabus.

*hopes for an 8-mark question on what DNA stands for*

Hehe... yeh you sure can.. unless they give a mark for each 2 letters you get right

 

[ballerinabarbie]

it could always be a question to outline one of the pracs you did... method etc... then safety stuff... then justifying...
